Broken hearts

This has become a memorable week for all the wrong reasons. Peoples lives will forever change because of the ruthless actions of others. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those in the community of Newtown Connecticut, especially the families of those that lost so much, whose hearts are broken today. These grief stricken people shoulder a terrible burden and need relief from their suffering.

Their loss has been overwhelming. Their pain, immense. How can we help? Lift a brother. Lighten another's load. Share a complement with the forgotten. Save someone's pain by being a friend when there is none. Visit the lonely. Or speak a kind word in the midst of anger and rebuke.

Only One can heal these wounds. We must show humility and rely on him alone. This is our privilege.

Trust in the Savior. Listen to his words. Follow his example.

And you will find an unexpected gift amid challenges.
